Serum Blood Collection Tubes

Serum blood collection tubes are used to collect and store blood samples for laboratory tests that require the separation of serum from the blood cells. Serum blood collection tubes are typically done by centrifuging the blood sample in the tube, which separates the serum from the cells. The separated serum can then be used for a variety of tests, such as blood chemistry, hormone levels, and infectious disease screening. Serum blood collection tubes may also contain additives to help with the clotting process or to preserve the stability of certain analytes in the serum during storage.
